Reviews
This workbook will be a hit among college counselors.
This book gives students and their families the tools needed to reflect on why they want to go to college, how to best learn, and beyond. Instead of simply sharing advice about what to do, this guidebook offers students the practical exercises that empower them to own their journey.
Thanks to the internet and social media, we have more information today about getting into college, yet families have never felt so powerless in the process. Following up on their useful college admission guide, Barnard and Clark put their wisdom into a workbook that launches students and parents on a fulfilling and meaningful college search toward finding the right fit in a campus.
Barnard and Clark have created a guide for the college search and admission process that provides students and families with the language, definitions, key questions to ask, and guidance needed to reduce the stress and anxiety that can sometimes come with the college search and admission process. The Truth about College Admission Workbook is the resource that college admission professionals will use with their own children—I know that it will be our go-to source as my son begins his college search this next year.
